'Jesus was a Palestinian,' claims U.S. history text
Study: American public school books have 'same inaccuracies' as Arab texts
By Bob Unruh
A new study reveals that if Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wanted to criticize the nation of Israel before the United Nations, he could use American public school textbooks to do so.
"It is shocking to find the kind of misinformation we discovered in American textbooks and supplemental materials being used by schools in every state in the country," said Dr. Gary Tobin, president of the Institute for Jewish & Community Research and a co-author of the study.
"Elected officials at every level should investigate how these offensive passages are creeping into our textbooks. Presenting false information in the classroom undermines the very foundation of the American educational system," he said....

Oh I remember a long while back that I wrote a post about a Christian guy who said this in his blurb about Jesus...
I was looking through a christian catalogue the other day, and came across a new book called A Spectator's Guide to Jesus by John Dickson. The cover of the book depicts a range of different looking Jesus'- To my surprise the blurb to this book had this to say;

How did a crucified Palestinian peasant end up winning the allegiance of 2 billion confessed Christians today? This introduction to Jesus' life and teaching portrays a radical man who challenges social and religious norms and demands compassion for the needy.
Not once does the NT refer to Jesus as a Palestinian. The land as far as I have researched was named Palestine around 135AD a long time after Jesus...
...Modern historian, Bernard Lewis wrote of Hadrian's army who crushed a massive Jewish uprise in Judea (132-135 ad) led by Bar-Cochba:
"Hadrian made a determined attempt to stamp out the embers not only of the revolt but also of Jewish nationhood and statehood… obliterating its Jewish identity."
Hadrian wanted all Jewish identity to be obliterated and that is when he renamed "Judea" to "Syria Palaestina" - Palestine - after the Jews' historic enemies, the Philistines, a non-Semitic sea people from the eastern Mediterranean or Aegean area.
This did not happen until after 135 A.D. with the defeat of Simon Bar Kockba. And with the discovery of the dead sea scrolls all has been verified with letters found that were written by Simon Var Kockba and the coins to back it up.
Thank you Vee, that's a might fine comment.
Thanks for making up for my lack of research lately. I've been too busy for real blogging and have just been providing the odd link here and there as time permits.
